Fear of Envy
Keisha, age 22, confided that she never disclosed her excellent grades or any specific information about her applications to the top law schools to her crew. She said that she felt like she had to keep her success and ambition quietly hidden, in order to protect her "rep" on campus as a "fly girl." She's always been uncomfortable about the envy she elicits from the sisters she hangs out with.

This one is me. I have always gotten great grades throughout high school and college. But, none of my classmates really knew how well I was doing. I didn't tell some of my "closest friends" in high school about my full college scholarship. None of them did particularly well in school and I didn't want them thinking that I thought I was better than they were.
Now, that I'm in college, a lot of people still don't know how well I'm doing. But, those are people that I'm not particularly close with. I have surrounded myself with loving and supportive people who are happy for me and my achievements.
